Local Development Round Up

The future site of the Apollo

We've seen a ton of development related news in the recent days/weeks. Here are some things you won't want to miss:

There's a new mixed use project coming to M Street between 3rd and 4th. It would feature 401 residential units and as much as 12,900sqft of retail space, plus 175 buried parking spaces.
More details: Wilkes Co. pitches 400-unit NoMa mixed-use building (Washington Business Journal, 10/15/14).

+ 1,000,000 re H Street Connection. I don't know anyone who goes to the RiteAid and most of my neighbors don't even walk the part of H Street NE nearest us (nearest corner is 8th and H) - everyone avoids it because it feels unsafe, depressing and smells of urine. Whilst we all want to have amenities to use, there is no need for things to be run-down and disgusting. Come on Rappaport, please develop H Street Connection!!!
